Choosing the Right Golf Clubs

Starting with the right clubs makes a big difference for beginners. A complete set usually includes:

• A driver
• Irons
• Wedges
• A putter

However, you don't need to carry every club when you're learning. Many new players benefit from using hybrid clubs since they offer more forgiveness than long irons.
